CGiii Comment
This will freak the parents out...
It is a brave little film, undermined by its production values...but, hard-hitting nonetheless.
There is an extraordinary amount of talent on show despite the low budget - not easy viewing - but necessary...perhaps.

The(ir) Blurb...
A teenage girl, Jessica, befriends a teenage boy called Tom, who is bullied by a local gang. She is abused by Jack, who is both her neighbour and school teacher, and Tom is sexually abused by his father. Together they bond in the woods, creating a private reality that no-one else can enter.
